Chapter 10- Port of Torress

Chapter 10 - Port of Torress 

(Sage's p.o.v)

My mind was going through hurdles trying to process after everything Peyton told us. I let the water run down my body for one last time before getting out of the shower. 

I grabbed one of the larger towels and wiped off and proceeded to put on my clothes.

I wondered if Rosie woke up yet, I thought to myself.

I opened the bathroom door and walked out. I saw Rosie staring out the window at the water below.

"You okay?" I asked. As I got closer to her.

She shook her head and looked down again.

"Did they really throw Liyah and Sarah into the sea?" she questioned.

"I'm not sure, but I'm guessing they did", I answered.

She looked sad.

" I kind of regret being a total bitch to Liyah," she mentioned.

I rubbed her shoulder trying to comfort her.

"So what do you think  we should do for now?" I asked, trying to see where she stood on all of this.

"We stick together no more what", she said putting her hand up to high five me.

"Always" I high five her back.

The door opened and Peyton  walked into the room holding some clothes.

"we've arrived at the Port of Torress,  change into this'' she said, handing us some maid looking colors and two wigs.

"How the hell did you get this?" Rosie asked, looking at the clothes.

"Massey got it for me," she answered. " Hurry up, the ship is docking, we have to sneak you off while Massey is keeping  Jack busy" she stated.

Rosie and I changed into the maid uniforms and placed the wigs on our heads. 

"I always wanted to try this," Rosie  said, sounding excited.

I changed clothes and Peyton headed us some bags.

"Pretend to be maids and act like you were cleaning rooms", she said, as she walked towards the door.

We followed behind her into the hallways and up a flight of stairs.

"This is the floor where workers get off the ship", Peyton whispered.

She led us to another area that looked like a laundry room. Before we could reach to the other side of the area. 

The big guy named Jack  that was with Brent earlier walked passed us, and Massey was walking with him.

"Hey have you seen Brent anywhere I can't find him?" he asked Massey.

Massey didn't lose his composure and seemed  to remain calm. He definitely looked like a real professional.

"I saw him earlier taking a phone call, but I'm not sure where he could have gone," he lied to the big guy.

The man didn't seem like he was suspicious of Massey at all, and just nodded his head.

 He looked towards us but didn't stop us from passing.

We went past them and arrived in the area where the workers were gathering up.

I couldn't believe Brent actually hid us from all these people. Did they not hear the gunshots, I wondered.

(Rosemary p.o.v) 

I'm so tired, while following behind Sage and Peyton I couldn't stop the yawns that kept coming out. I could barely get any type of sleep trying to understand everything that was going on.

I mean who would have thought  that our birth parents were such important people. My birth father is a prince and my mother's a mercenary, how the hell did they meet is all I could think about.

Without paying attention to what was in front of me. I ran into a guy, and he caught me before I could fall flat on my face.

"Are you okay?" he asked in a deep accent.

I looked up and saw how handsome he was. He was  tall and muscular with dark skin with brown curly hair and light brown eyes.

"Hello, are you okay?" He asked again, while he was trying to study her face.

I found myself mesmerized. " ah yes" I caught myself staring at him.

"Hey Hurry up", Sage said, pulling me towards her.

I looked back at the guy and he tilted his side to the side, watching me leave.

"Whoa he's hot" I said out loud.

"Now's not the time to be sobbing over dicks Rosie",  Sage said in an annoyed tone.

I chuckled and picked up the pace following behind.

Peyton led to another door that looked like an exit to the ship.

"this is where the workers get off from" she stated. While looking out the little window next to the door.

We felt the ship stopping., and Peyton continued to look out the window.

"The ship has docked, get ready to get off", she said as the ship door started  to lift up.

We followed behind the crowd of workers, maid, janitors, and some other important looking staff members.

Finally getting off the ship, Peyton pulled both of our hands and started walking at a fast pace. I tried not to lose my balance with how fast she was moving. Did she forget we had injuries geez, I thought to myself.

Peyton looked down at her phone as it started ringing.

"Massey," she answered. She stopped walking for a second and looked around.

"Okay", she replied to him. "Location?" She asked.

Sage and I just stared at her while she continued to  talk.

Peyton hung the phone and looked at us.

"We're going to the hotel Massey has ready for us," she stated.

We nodded our heads and followed her for a couple of blocks leading to a small hotel sitting on the corner.

Peyton told us to stay on the side while she took to the lady at desk.

(Peyton's p.o.v)

Finally we made it to the  location Massey had set up for us. Now I just have to get the girls settled in, while I look for a way to get in contact with Masiro Henrico.

I don't know how he'll  react when he finds out about the girls. All after, he didn't even know Natalie was secretly  pregnant after she went on her mission.

"Enjoy your stay", the front desk lady said.

I thanked her and walked up the stairs to find the room. I looked back at the girls and they looked extremely exhausted. I at least hope they can get some rest while Massey and I work on our plans.

I opened the door to the room, it was a medium side with two beds, enough room for the girls.

"Get yourselves settled, I'm going to meet up with Massey" I told them as I was getting ready to leave.

"Be careful," Sage said as she gave me a hug and Rosie just nodded her head.

I smiled at them, and turned around  to go back downstairs. 

Massey stood outside the building waiting on me. I walked out to where he was.

"What about Jack", I asked him

"I took care of him," he replied back.

"Do you have a plan on how we're going to approach  Masiro without getting ourselves killed?" Massey asked.

" I can try to get in contact with one of the special force members," I said, trying to see how I could

 do it.

" Let's  start with finding his location" Massey stated.

I nodded my head. 

Massey looked  to his left and noticed  a man walking up to the hotel door. He looked at me and gestured  his head towards the man's direction. 

"He was on the ship," he said, looking at him suspiciously.

"He's the one who helped Rosemary when she almost fell", I stated as I watched him enter the hotel.

"Stay with the girls," Massey told me, as he took his phone out of his pocket.

I nodded my head and stepped forward walking toward the door.

The man stood in front of the desk, looking around.

"How may I help you sir?" The desk lady asked him.

"One room please", he said in a deep accent.

The lady smiled and proceeded to take his money and then handed him a key.

"Your room is on the second floor, room 201" she said.

"Shit", I thought that's the room across from the girls.

I walked upstairs in a hurry before he could, as heard his footsteps behind me. I pretended to drop something  out of my pocket to see what he would do.

"Excuse me miss," he said in that deep accent. " You dropped this".

I turned around and acted  like I didn't know.

"Oh thank you", I said with a fake smile. 

"No problem, miss,"  he said as he walked past me. He slightly turned around facing me.

"I'm sorry but you seem familiar to me", he stated.

I held my nervousness in, trying not to show any negative body language.

"Umm, what's your name?" I asked him while trying to get a good read on him.

"Yeshiva Blairsville ", he said.

I was surprised to hear the name Blairsville. A member of one of the branch families of the Henrico Clan was standing in front of me.

"And your name is" he asked.

I didn't know whether to use my real name or my alias. 

I tilted my head to the side.

"Did you follow me here?" I asked.

(Sage's p.o.v)

I heard a voice outside the door while I was standing. I was standing in the mirror  drying my hair.

"Hey Rosie", I said, while trying to get her attention.

"Huh," she said, clearly not listening at all.

" I think I heard my mom outside", I said as I got closer to the door.

Rosie got up and walked up to the door with me and looked in the little peek hole.

"Hey it is Peyton!", she said as she continued looking. " "Hey!, it's that man" she shouted in excitement.

I looked at her confused.

" What man?", I asked

"The one who stopped me from falling", she said.

I tried to stop her before she opened the door, but she was already opening it. 

The door came open and Peyton  and the man looked at us.

"Natalie?", the man asked with a surprised look on his face.

Peyton  face-palmed herself.

"So you did follow me", she asked, looking at him suspiciously.

"She's not Natalie," she said to him.

He looked confused for a second.

"Of course I know that, it's been 18 years since she's been missing, of course she wouldn't look this young", he said.

"But she looks just like Natalie," he said still trying to comprehend what he was seeing

"She's Natalie's daughter", Peyton said looking at the man.

The man's mouth dropped and had a hard time trying to understand.

Peyton pointed at me.

" And she is also Natalie's daughter", she continued on saying.

The man looked at me shocked and then had a look of disdain.

"You look just like Moises," he said with an upset tone.

Peyton placed her hand on the man's shoulder.

"We need to talk," she said to him, gesturing to him to follow her in the room. 

Rosie and I looked at each other  and she shrugged her shoulders and followed behind Peyton. 

I sighed and stood in a state of confusion.

Honestly I had enough of this shit, I mumbled to myself.

Peyton walked towards the bed and the man stood by the window of the right side of the room.

"Explain this to me," he said, demanding an answer.

Peyton kept standing and sighed, " Where should I start?".

"How about telling me where Natalie is!" He shouted.

Peyton was taken aback but kept her composure.

"Her father has been going crazy looking for her!" He continued on.

I looked at him and saw his face was full of concern.

"Who are you to my birth mother?" I asked.

He looked at me and then at Rosie.

"Im from one of the branch families of the Henrico Clans, my father was one of her subordinates." He said.

Rosie and I looked at eachother and we glanced toward Peyton.

"I'm Marianna Lapland", she stated. 

Yeshiva looked at her and then at me.

"That explains why she looks like Moises" he said, with a look of disappointment.

"What's the problem?" I asked, looking him straight in the eyes. " I'm tired of you giving me nasty looks".

His eyes opened wide a little like he was taken aback and then he had his face get a little softer.

"But you sound just like Natalie," he said. " Sorry, but the Clan hates the royal family, and you look like a carbon copy of Moises  Vanuatu, just shorter with long hair, anyone in the kingdom would know you belong to the royal family.

I looked at him and scoffed.

" I don't give a damn about the royal family."

Peyton cleared  her throat and Yeshiva looked towards her way.

"Yeshiva, I need you to take us to Masiro," she said.

He nodded, "I'll take you in the morning," he said.

He moved from the window and headed towards the door. He looked at me and then at Rosie.

"Be prepared", he said, as he opened the door and walked out.

I looked at Peyton and she sighed once again.

"What does that mean?" Rosie and I said at the same time. 

Peyton walked up closer to us and placed her hand on each of our shoulders.

"You two are about to get into one hell of a fight", she said.

She put her head up against mine and said,

"Especially you Sage."
